Why choose an aluminium crane system in a FOD zone? Our successful upgrade in Liège

Introduction:
In environments where Foreign Object Damage (FOD) is a risk, every detail matters. Flaking paint or wear can cause serious issues. Here’s how we replaced a Demag KBK steel system with an eepos aluminium crane system – the perfect solution for FOD-sensitive areas.

The challenge:
The existing Demag KBK cranes were traditionally painted yellow. Over time, the paint started to peel, which is unacceptable in a FOD zone. Even a small paint chip can cause costly damage.

Our solution:
We installed 8 eepos aluminium overhead cranes, each with a 250 kg capacity. Aluminium profiles are anodised, eliminating the risk of peeling paint.

Benefits:
FOD prevention: smooth anodised surfaces, no loose paint.
Ergonomics: extremely light running resistance, effortless handling for operators.
Efficiency: fast installation thanks to thorough preparation and the right tools.
Low maintenance: corrosion-resistant and easy to clean.

The result:
The customer now has 8 high-quality aluminium cranes, combining safety and improved ergonomics.
